Yok Mu-ming (Chinese: 郁慕明; pinyin: Yù Mùmíng) is a Taiwanese politician and has been the chairman of the New Party since 2003.
Yok and delegates from the New Party made an 8-day visit to Mainland China in July 2005 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of China's victory in the Second Sino-Japanese War. The delegates visited Beijing, Dalian, Guangzhou and Nanjing in a tour called "Journey of the Chinese Nation".
In Guangzhou, Yok and his delegates paid tribute at the Huanghuagang Mausoleum of 72 Martyrs honoring the deceased during the Second Guangzhou Uprising to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China.
In May 2010, Yok visited the National Museum of China in Beijing in which he met with the museum director Lu Zhangshen. Lu briefed Yok about the current situation of the museum renovation. He also expressed hope for future collaboration between the museum and Taiwan, as well as strengthening ties with various cultural organizations in Taiwan.
In 2012, responding to the dispute of Tiaoyutai Islands between Taiwan, Mainland China and Japan, Yok published a written statement saying that trilateral negotiation between the three sides cannot be realized at the current time, Taiwan should hold a dialogue with Mainland China so that the two sides could jointly discuss issues related to defending the islands.
